i have not heard from harry reid's office. i guess we should, right, to say it's either true or not true. >> yeah i would expect harry reid's office to have to come out at some point and issue some kind of a denial or at least try to put this in context. what i've heard from the republican side is in effect, democrat staff approached our staff, leadership staff on the republican side and said, hey, we need to figure out a way to exempt congress because if we don't exempt congress you'll have a lot of low paid staffers who are not able to afford the $7,000 in premiums that they would have to pay and that would be bad. i think the dig -- bill: sorry the reason why that's that is important, steve is they believe their staffers wouldn't want to work there because they could not afford it right. it was a talent drain or a brain drain, continue. >> exactly. which would in effect mirror the complaints we're hearing from so many businesses around the country. congress wants to exempt itself or some in congress want to exempt itself so
